Nycal Velasquez was a 2009 graduate of Bloomfield High School and a student at Bloomfield College. He was reported missing by his family in late March, and police found his vehicle — with a suicide note inside — at a Fort Lee park close to the George Washington Bridge.

No official ruling on his death has been issued.

On Facebook and Twitter, friends mourned the loss of his infectious smile and upbeat, supportive nature.

No obituary for Velasquez has been published, though numerous friends said a memorial service was scheduled for this afternoon.
